The point is to experience things nude that make sense to experience nude. Things like swimming etc that everyone generally agrees is great to do naked but without the stigma of judgement. Feeling the sun and the breeze on your skin.

Nudists view clothing as functional and necessary but only in instances where it makes sense.

I'm a fun loving, curious girl from the South!

I'm brutally honest, love anything outdoors, books,
sports, volleyball, and yes, I was raised and still am a nudist!

Would you like to share about Nudist Etiquette? at home or in social nudity experience.
and what the longest time you did not wearing clothes?
I've read some people here can go weeks or half month without clothes during holiday.

Sure!

Home Etiquette and beach/resort can be a little different.

Beach/Resort

You always bring a towel to sit on no matter where you are.
When meeting new people it is natural to check them out but then you maintain eye contact as much as possible, which becomes natural.
Women/girls can wear bottoms at most places if they are on their period or simply cut the tampon string if they are worried about people seeing it.
Depending on age (later teens) guys are encouraged, if they get aroused, to cover up with a towel, roll over on their stomachs, or jump into the water. This doesn't happen as often as most people think but it can happen.
That's really about it.

Home etiquette can differ a bit.. mostly everything still applies but I've found guys are more likely to get an erection at home where they are comfortable just like non nudist boys do. Most families and friends understand this and don't require them to hide as long as they aren't being a weirdo with it.

I've gone about half a month or so during the summer at the house or on trips to nudist resorts/beaches

Is there anything done to keep sexual predators away from nudist places?

Some do background checks before they allow you to visit. Otherwise, it's pretty easy to spot people that are creeps because they either do not get nude or they clearly are excited all the time or are just weird and don't generally last very long in the environment before they are ejected.

I've gotten a boner while skinny dipping with girls, was traumatic.

How was it traumatic? And it's usually natural unless they are being annoying or threatening about it. Amongst friends, nobody really cares and may have a laugh but among strangers or by yourself with people, you don't know around you should usually cover up, go for a swim, or roll onto your tummy.

Involuntary erections depend on the context and each venue is different in how they prefer people handle them (no pun intended)

And I get a chance most of the year at beaches, homes, and resorts. I live in Florida
